I’ve been turned away by multiple final rounds. Cannot seem to figure out the last step but must be doing something right to get to the final round no? If anyone has any leads to strategic roles in nyc for someone with 3yoe please let me know. I’m getting real desperate now that I’m back to square one :/

I feel ya OP. Also in the same boat; been applying since early Feb and at one point was interviewing with multiple firms. Half of which made it seem like I would be getting an offer quickly. Then once I follow up: crickets.

Now also feeling like I’m back at square one BUT I started applying again since last week and already have a bunch of new interviews lined up.

Best lesson I learned: don’t stop applying/interviewing til you have an offer in hand

A little bit of both. Had some friends refer me to their firms and I still get ghosted when I follow up after the final rounds.

Would be nice to get a straight up answer or the generic “although your skills are impressive....” but we don’t always get what we want

My HR friend told me his firm invites much more % of candidates to the final rounds bc it costs almost nothing to interview people these at-home days and their hiring manager is not even seriously hiring. Companies add more rounds and homework and presentation nonsense these days. I won’t waste my time applying now. I’d start seriously interviewing after people return to office.
